#Chapter103
/"I thinks Daddies will be mean again. Nice at first but then nasty and do smackies and . . . I not wanna have to hide in the dark again, Angie. I get scared./" His voice broke. Lower lip trembled. He used his napkin to dab at his eyes. /"It makes me feel so sad, birdie. I is lost in the darkness and monsters are coming, but I can't get out and they gonna get me and I not know how to not be scared, so I cry. And then the nasty scared doesn't go away even when the dark does./"
/"Would I ever do that to you?/" Angel asked softly. /"Would I ever make you feel that scared?/"
/"Nuh-huh. You nice./"
/"Would I make Lucien feel that way?/"
/"I'd be so cross if you did!/"
